November 21, 1863 IN CITLPSPER, It seems like a dream, that I should be in Cul peper. Only one month has elapsed since the hegira of our army. We left the town by night, in the red glow of fire light. Denizens on the doorsteps bade us farewell in vivacious tones. Last Monday our cavalry trotted through the town, complacently eye "ng the deserted-looking mansions, not wondering at the chagrin of - their oodupants, who refrained from showing us the least countenance. I think a large number of families must have gone with the rebel army, as there is a greater-number of vacant houses than usual. Our cavalry are encamped about three miles from town, the 6th Penns. doinp provost duty here. Many of the atoms have been broken into, I . understand, and some two thousand dollars' worth of tobacco taken by the soldiers. A. reconnoissance has been made to James City, on the right, and Mitchell's Station on the left. TAB PONDS OP TUB ICAPPMIANNOOK. Fifteen prisoners were taken at the latter place, and the main body of the enemy found to be on the south side of the. Rapidan, where preparations seem to be making to give us fight. Their position is a ,desirable one, but their strength is not very great. From United States ford to Barnet's ford, a dis tance of from twenty to thirty miles, the Rappahan nock is full of sinuosities. Rapidan, Morton, Rac coon, Sommerville, and Germania fords, are nearly all located in places where the river bends, and are connected the one with the other by a succession of parallel roads, which gives to the enemy a very great advantage. They are enabled to reinforce any one point at a moment's notice. W_Tnless we could cross simultaneously at a number of these fords, or with lightning-like rapidity - at one, it would be a desperate undertaking to go over under range of their guns. A pause at any one of these places would be fatal, as they can easily reinforce from the right and left. Lee's army has less effective men now than ever. Whether we shall march on or not will soon be made manifest. Gay. LBWS DISAPPOINTMENTS. Not a single movement of the past four weeks can General Lee reflect on with pride or satisfaction. His race for the heights of Centreville was futile, and he must thank the leniency-of the , people that he was not severely censured, as was poor lIW, who seems to have fallen under the particular displva sure of every one because of his slowness. It pro vokes them to think of the train and chanees lost— they sigh for General Jackson, and exclaim: "'Twits not thus he was wont to march hiffmen such an exigenef." Bristow gained for their arms no victory, no 'laurels for their leader; while their flight from that station to the Rappahannock was only exceeded in disgracefulness by their recent re treat from there to the Rapidan. Some time ago I noticed in a leading article of a Richmond news paper that Meade would have given his eyetooth to have had an opportunity of attacking Lee -then and there. I opine General Lee would have given every tooth in his head freely had General Meade• not assaulted his position at Rappahannock Sta tion. Oh, the mortification of such surprise The disgrace of that hasty midnight retreat his army madeAhrough the town on Sunday! Oh, for the warm winter quarters, almost if not altogether pre- Pared, and alas ! for the comfortable assurance given the good town people that the Yankees should no more come nigh to molest 5,,r make them afraid. PLIODT FROM OIIERILLAS--MOUNTAIN SCENERY.. In my " maunderings" through the country, as the Scotch say—for correspondents will wander in body as well as mind—l accidentally got on the out side of our lines. It was somewhere near Hazel river that I stopped. While conversing with the inmates of the house, I saw three guerillas ride up and capture two of our men. They said the re. mainder of the band, come forty in number, was concealed in the woods near by. I crept cautiously Up stairs, and lay quietly concealed until they with drew. My dreams were unpleasant that night, and I do not wonder, When I think on the experience of the ensuing day. The residence where I stopped was in full sight of the Sierra.shaped tops of the Blue Ridge. It was called Mountain View. From the front door of the house the misty looking heights could be seen extending far into the illimitable ex panee of ether. Here there shot up almost per pendicularly into the sky a mountain so steep, rug ged, and bare=' as to be inaccessible to mortal tread. Hill swelled boldly above hill ; undulations shapely and unseemly were there ; heights, smooth, grace ful, and grotesque, Were ranged carelessly side by Bide as if thrown together in playful sport by the hand of seme powerful Anteuo. Lower down, and leaning fondly on its base, rested a huge green mound, tapering oh , delicately and gently, almost imperceptibly emerging into the, level ground be neath. To the right was a spacious tract of country with every species of little house and hillock, plain, and tree, and •brush, to enliven its picturesque surface. Then came the long vista of the opening valley dotted.with the crumbling farm-houses, sou venirs of a cruel war. Leading front the direction of the mountains, the Rixesville road, like a piece of crumpled yellow rib „bon, ran irregularly on till it joined the dark line which must be the railroad, near Brandy station. The whole scene was and warmed by a broad, bright, honest sun into:whose glowing countenance the boldest could not gaze unwinkingly. Sir Wal ter Scott thought that`additional effect would be given to his scenic description!), by the introduction of one or two hisman beings. Lesser lights have taken the hint, and we never read of a narrow defile through the mountains, but we soon stumble upon a ” solitary horseman." When I looked out upon the quiet scene so feebly por trayed,`l saw about twenty horsemen ride slowly into view., What lit tie prescience I had was of &tiger. Steadily they pursued their way along the winding road. At last I saw them and fled up stairs. Their outro appear ancetthe mysterious manner of their coining, all con firmed my belief that they were not good men, loyal and true to their country. STAND, AND SIIRD.B.NDBR Brief was their halt, yet sufficiently long to inform the people of the house- that they were "Yanks," and to lead my horse,from the stable. If they are Union men I can soon get my horse, I thought. After this medley crowd I rushed, and, in a voice as mild as Virginia home-made coffee, said, "Gentlemen, I would like you to restore my horse;" and, without waiting for a response, I inquired of a young man dressed in blue, whom they called Hogan, if he be longed to the 6th New York. "No," he gruffly re plied, "we're rebels." "Ohl" I mentally ex claimed, "If you are guerillas, I don't expect my horse," and was turning to go away, but they soon arrested me. At -this moment a fierce-looking ser geant -rode up, and demanded that "pistol I had concealed some place." Without any qualms of Con science, I staunchly denied all knowledge of such weapons. I soon learned that my subterfuge would be dangerous, for he quickly drew a revolver from his belt, and placed= the cold muzzle against my tingling ears. Oh, -the dirge-like click. of that look, the icy touch of the iron, the Aangerous appearance of the long, shining barrel Every time, the horse capered I listened intently for a premature explosion. I quietly refused to give any information, and endeavored to prepare myself, by a brief prayer, for martyrdom. Here was an occasion when courage was needed more than bravery. The first is of the mind, the latter pertains entirely to the blood. The impetuous, un thinking man is always brave when the blood is hot; but he seldom has courage to face the danger which menaces him in his calmer moods. Amid the excitement of the battle, when the hurtling lead falls thick and fast, and God's noblest work is man gled by the shrieking shells ; when the brazen strains of the bugle mingle strangely with the wild notes of fife and drum, and the sepulchral groans of the dying—then, carried away by excitement and en thusiasm; he would dash up to the blazing-throated cannon, and terrify death by his temerity. But in the still small hours of the night he fears to wander among the slain, and would fain shut his ears against the incoherent cries of the wounded. At the witching hour of midnight he whistles a stimu lus to his sinking courage, if called upon to pass near a graveyard. He can scarce refrain froth looking askance and trembling at the wierd look of his own shadow. A ROI3BMOB DEN-DENOUEMENT Illy courage, which had thus far been up to the 1 "sticking Roint," began to fall. I thought gloomily of my prospects in) Libby Prison, sighed in antici pation of the forced marches it would require to reach that obnonious place, and groaned in bitter nese of spirit upon the unsavory morsels of mule meat, and the indigestable pea bread upon which I might soon expect to be regaled. It seems almost incredible, but true it is, I was Bony that I was a correspondent, and wanted to "be an angel." After being "double-quirked" through a thicket where were some very sharp thorns, I reached the main body of the band concealed in the thick woods. Such a sight—what a set I During the heat of reit; mous persecution in Scotland, one might expect to see such creatures concealed in the ferns and caves of their native Scotia, that they might avoid the pitiless swords of Olavehouee and his moss troopers. Were these creatures men or "brownies," Union soldiers, or guerillas? One glance at their scanty homespun, a quick look at the blind halters and im provised saddles, the restless look of the men, their long hair and shaggy beards, all combined to force from my lips the exclamation: " Surely these men are bandits." I hastily threw my note-book in the brush; my watch and pooket-book was following hard after, when Captain Kline, of Gen. Patrick's headquarters, rode up, and we exchanged boisterous greetings, Mere my trouble ended. These nonde scripts were our own brave fellows. They had just returned from a little brush with ltloseby, and were just in time to serve me as an escort. They dkptured a notorious rebel scout, Dr. Semen Jones, who had important papers concealed about his person.' The guerillas are oarrying off all cattle, and it is said they have orders to lead all colts away who have reached the age of two years and upwards. This, I un derstand, is a precautionary measure to preserve them for their owners and keep them from falling into "Yankee hands." Some people are sufficiently heterodox to believe they would never more see their colts and cattle if they got over the Rapidan, I think this myself. Moseby still hangi upon our right. He works in between the cavalry and in. fantry, picking up stragglers and unarmed men. The lucrative portion of his trade is in capturing mules and. contraband& Some weeks he sent into VtuPeret 44 Asti .64 =Oa ILOVOVI I to; wig9l4 • he is paid munificently. This la the first time he has been known to operate in this portion of Vir• ginia. We have men in our army who worddi take the contract of capturing this bandit. I have• met such men, and know they would bring him in dead or alive. Rebel scouts came into town twice [duel' have been here. Night before last they terrified' two officers' servants, by compelling them to answer•' various questions, the answers to . which they carefully noted down. Lieut. Englieh, with ten men of the 17th Pennsylvania, endeavored to capture them, but were too late. .There is no doubt General Buford, would make terrible examples of such men if captured. A reconnoitring party of rebels pushed against Kilpatrick's front yesterday. It was raining very fast at the time. Several guns were fired, when the enemy withdrew. The cars will soon be running through Culpeper. The railroad is now in good condition to Mitchell Station, and perhaps to the Rapidan. Our infantry is slowly moving up. I see the Engineer Corps here today, and expect the army soon. Sunday it rained heavily, and today is coludy and unpleasant. THE UNION PRISONERS AT RICHMOND. A Narrative of their Privations and Suf ferings—Statement of Rev John Hussey, Lb D., a Released Prisoner. Rev. John Hussey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Lockland, Howell county, Ohio, and a member of the Christian Commission, was captured by the rebels on the field of Chickamauga, on the day (succeeding the battle, and conveyed through a tedious route to Richmbnd, where he remained in durance until the 9th of the present month, less than a fortnight since, when he wastortunate enough to be released. The =reverend gentleman has very kindly furnished us with a statement of what he 'was oompelled to witness, and to endure, while in captivity, and although it does not materially differ from the experience of others, who were equally un- , fortunate, it yet embraces many particulars of in terest. At the present time, indeed, when the whole North is raised to sympathy and indignation, at the recital of the sufferings , of the Union prisoners in the Richmond jails, any intelligence throwing light upon their actual condition must awaken a feeling of painful interest in the community. The following is Rev. Dr. Hussey's story, as furnished to one of Our reporters Accompanied by a detail of about a dozen men, I proceeded to the field of Chickamauga, on the list of September last, for the purpose of assisting the wounded, interring the dead, and discharging such other duties as the occasion might suggest. I had prepared a number of head-boards for the graves, and was marking' others, when I found myself ac costed by a rebel officer, who I subsequently !Muted was medical director on General Wheeler's staff. Hie names have forgotten. I said to him : Doctor, I am a minister of the Gospel and a delegate of the Christian Conunission, and have remained here to do what I can for the wounded ;" adding that I would care for the rebel wounded as well as our own. He immediately responded : "You area d—d Abolitionist! Come, sir, I will ask Judge Terry what I shall do with you." We entered the hospital together where Judge Terry was discovered suffering from a wound in the left arm which he wore in a sling. "Judge Terry, here is a d—d Abolitionist preacher !" That was all the ceremony of intro duction considered i necessary. Judge, or rather General Terry—for he was both, and expects soon to be made a major general—asked me whether I was a chaplain, to which a negative response was of course given. The General walked up and down the room for many miryrtes in a perfect fury of passion, which found but partied vent in the most fearful oaths and most terrible invective aimed at myself. ' s "If you were a chaplain," he said, "I should know what to do with you, and if I could have my own way, I know exactly what I should do with you—l would hang every d—n one of you ! Look at the condition of the country Look at our widows and our orphans, and our desolated homes! Just think of the blood we have shed, and the treasure we have spent, and the bitter sorrows we have been compelled to suffer—and all for such infemous. scoundrels as you! It is such men as you who are waging this war upon our liberties. It is you who have done all this, and are responsible for it. Now, what ought to be done with youl What ought Ito do with such a villain as your From his pointed manner, he seemed to be of opinion that, having put an unanswerable question to me, I would not, as a reasoning creature, en deavor to evade it ; but, villain as I was, would frankly admit that I had brought on the war, and was willing to suffer martyrdom for such an Indic °Teton. But, as I was contemplating with surprise and bewilderment an exhibition of rage that seemed so totally Uncalled-for, I did not reply immediately to hie question ; and when I would have spoken, he gave way to such another outburst of noisy vin dictiveness that my words would have passed rm. heeded, and, therefore, I was silent. When the storm of his fury had exhausted itself in denuncia Wei and prnianity, not often heard from the lips of judge or general, he calmed down to a more rational frame of mind. At length, in the. tone of one who is willing to sacrifice the opportunity of avenging private wrongs for the nobler opportunity of treat ing his enemy with magnanimity, he remarked loftily, with a wave of his right arm: "I am a military man, and have nothing to do with you. I will hand you over to the civil autho rities for endeavoring to incite negro insurrections, contrary to the laws of the State !" I remarked in a tone of self-deprecation that I had not done any such thing, nor thought of it. " Well," said General Terry, " You were caught in our lines ; that is enough," and left the room. A gaunt and filthy Texan ranger then seized me insolently by the shoulders, and pulled me out of the hospital building. A horse without saddle or bridle, and with only a halter, was furnished me with the information that I must mount and follow closely in the path of the general, who was already in the saddle. In compliance with the injunction, I rode that day sixteen miles on my sharp.trotring Confederate horse. In this way we proceeded to Tunnel Hill, and thence to Atlanta, where, along with some other prisohers I was thrown into the barracks and kept two nights and two days. Here we were officially, systematically, and completely robbed, of every thing of value we possessed ; only two of us being passed out through the door at a time, so that those within, ignorant of what was going on, could not conceal or destroy any valuables upon their persons. Thence we were re moved to Augusta, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Ca rolina. In the barracks at the former place we saw Judge Gant, one of the most prominent and widely esteemed citizens of East. Tennessee, a prisoner, handcuffed, in tattered garments, and in the most abject and miserable condition. One of his fellow prisoners, a major of an East Tennessee regiment, with whom I stole an opportunity to converse, in formed me that the rebel's invariably hanged every Kansas soldier who fell into their hands; and that he himself had seen sixteen Kansas soldiers hung up like dogs before his own quarters. At the village of Thompson, Georgia, we met General Duff Green, who had been detaped in con sequence of the train - running off the tr.. Carpet bag in hand, and accompanied by two young ladies, his nieces, perhaps, he mingled freely among our men, to ascertain our views upon the war question. "Why did you come here to fight us l" he asked. "Why don't you go to your own country, and let us alone'!" One of our party, a Kentuckian. said ; This is our country—that's why we come here." "But," said / General Green, " we do not try to Invade the North." " Will," answered the Kentuckian, " what about Gettysburg)" The General felt this to be rather a poser, and did not attempt to reply, but parried it as beat he could with other questions. Alter a little while he grew excited, and exclaimed, with vehemence: " The time will come when we will cut the throat of every one of you we take." " We will not do it, will wet" said one of the young ladies', in a tone of horror. "Yes, we will," answered Gen, CAen, sharply. " We will Out the throat of every Yankee prisoner." Tact then our train moved off, but we could see the General gesticulating violently, and growing redder in the face. In the'southern part of North Carolina, the cars stopped before a handsome private residence. Upon the porch stood two young girls, fashionably dressed, and, so far as outward appearance went, apparently ladies of refinement. No sooner, however, had they ascertained our character than they betrayed, in their demeanor, that they were unworthy of this title. One of them took out her handkerchief, made a loop of it, passed it around her neck—indicating, in a pantomimic way, that we were either worthy of hanging or deserved to be hanged;.perhaps both. ideas were Intended to be conveyed. The other young lady contented herself with simply clutching her throat in both hands, and mimicking the con-. tortions of a strangling person. When the train moved on, both of them shook their little nets at us with terrible energy, and we felt much safer when they had passed from view. At length we reached Riclimond,,and were placed: in Castle Thunder, where all cimillan prisoners, whether Northern or Southern loyalists, are placed. There were about six hundred of the former and eight hundred of the latter incarcerated when we arrived. The Southern Unionists are mostly from. East Tennessee, North Carolina, and Western and Northern Virginia. lncluded, however, among them, are cltizens / from all parts of the South. Very many of them were formerly possessed of vast wealth and influence, and one of.the prisoners was but a abort time since one of the largest planters of Texas. Another, who had prabtised law in Jack son, Mies., thirty-five years; was brought to Castle Thunder, with linen pants, worn out at the knees, and with no other covering but an old striped shawl thrown over his shoulder,. The statement that the prisoners on Belle Island had received no meat, for twelve days, and are com pelled to kill dogs and eat them to avoid starvation, is possibly true; but in the Richmond- prisons affairs, though bad enough, have not yet reached this desperate pass. The prisoners receive one meal a day, consisting of half a leaf of bread and two ounces of meat. In all the prisons of the city the same quantity of provisions is furnished to the tin• fortunate inmates. In every, other reaped they are treated almost like doge. They are unprovided with any clothing except what they may have had noon them when captured, nor with blankets or bedding of any kind, but are compelled tone upon the bare and nithy floors. The inmates of Castle Thunder, of whom there are 240 on the upper floor, are crowded into apartments so small that they, are compelled to sleep in parallel rows, to economize space. Once every three weeks the floor is scrubbed, when they are allowed -to proceed to the prison yard for a 4 N I OII freeh air Rod eAcrekle 6 A.t Un other time THREE CENTS. are they allowed to leave their rooter, upon any pretence whatever. The prlaoners never have a chance to wash them% selves, as neither soap nor water le provided for them. Partly from this circumstance, partly from the insufficient Supply of food, and partly from the fcctid atmosphere they are compelled to breathe, dis eases of the bowels and liver are very prevalent, , especially among the more advanced in life';;an.d very few, either young or old, manage to maintain any semblance or health. Another cause con tlibuting to this distressing result is the lards of clothing, already mentioned. Among the prisoners , be a man from New York, whose only covering about a yard of rag caspet, and in the eyes of his fel , low-anfferers his wardrobe is by no means considered despicable; and another, a Baptist minister, is al most naked. Since his Imprisonment, he has heard of the death of four of his children; but, notwith standing his terrible sufferings, he refuses to pur chase his liberty by taking the oath of allegiance to the Confederate Government. These are by no means exceptional cases of hardship, but I mention them because they came immediately under my own observation, and because they are as striking and suggestive as any I could name. . There is nothing the Government can do for the relief of these men, that will be more acceptable than to furnish them with stores and fuel, for, inde pendent of their sufferings from the cold, perhaps not one of them` - has even tasted a warm meal, or even as much as a hot cup of coffee since his incar ceration. What they especially need, also, is a good supply of vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, &e., to guard, against the scurvy Clothing also should be sent to them as soon as possible. Their condi tion may be greatly ameliorated, and very many lives saved, if they are promptly supplied with the articles named. The Christian and Sanitary Commis. sions will, no doubt, exert themselves to the utmost to see that this is done; but their exertions, to be fully auccessful, must be encouraged and substantially aided by the public. Let the people of Philadelphia come forward with a generous response to this fresh demand, and in the darkest cells of the Richmond prisons, there will be a merrier Christmas and a happier New, for their beneficence.

Cooper & Co., of Savannah, shows how the fall of Vicksburg knocked down rebel securities : "LONDON, Sept. 21, 1863.

I could not get an offer for our railroad stocks, and I am sorry to say that there has been no improvement since, and now (the last news was of tee fall of Forts Wagner and Sumpter) they are valueless in the mar. ket here.

Matamoros and Browniville—Union Senti mess in Texas NaW ORLEANE, Nov. 14.—Under this date, a cor respondent describes the troubles in Matamoros, between the French and the Jtilirez national parti sans in 'Mexico. Of the present commandant at Matamoros, he writes : Oortinas has shown his friendship for the Union by placing three Rio Grande steamers at the service and under the control of General Banks. One of these, the Matamoros, is valuable to us, because she is the only boat we have here that call arm the bar at the river mouth. Another revolution was , looked for on the night of the 7th-Bth; and as the American. Consul in Matamoros expected to be attacked, our forces were held in readiness to defend him. But nothing came of it. It is a fact that the French naval officers on the Matamoros station were for some time in expecta tion of a pronunciamiente which should place the French party in power in Tamaulipas, and it is now clear that all the arrangements of, the French on the coast were made with this in view. The French blockade covers the whole coast to a point within nine miles of the Rio Grande. Had the people of Tamaulipas "pronounced" in favor of the French, as it was intended they should, with the help of the rebels under General Bee, all the bbjects of the French, and of the rebels, too, would have been ac complished, without leaving our Government room to complain of unfriendly action. The opportune arrival of General Banks 'spoiled a most ingenious and to us daLgerous plot. THE PEOPLE OP TEXAS The prospect in Texas for our cause is good. Gen. Banks needs and ought to have more troops,per haps ten or twelve thousand men, in order to enable him to act in the State. The people in Brownsville, as well as on the Mexican site of the river, are friendly to us. I have no doubt that Mexican troope could be raised, it it were advisable, to serve under the American flag. The greater part of the people in and about Brownsville are of Mexican origin the common people and the wealthy men are favorable to the reestablishment of the Union Government, under which they always enjoyed peace, protection, and liberty. They are, however, much cowed by the rebel tyranny, and have such an idea of the strength and determination of the rebels that they will not take political action ulnas they are made sure of protection. The display bf a considerable force here is neces sary to produce confidence in our power and to re• store the former condition of thingsi and this force must remain for a time. With proper management there is a prospect that all Texas can be brought back under the Union flag, and that with little de lay. Now that a part of the people are relieved from a tyranny had grown hateful to them, and that also the tampering.ot the French with the rebels has been interrupted and their plots broken up, the prospect here is promising. Tarr Palmerston trim. eon., according to a private letter received by the editor of the Albany Journal, is settled. "This I know.

Theirpo litical canvass is as exultant and full of cheerful noise as the canvass which carried Tippecanoe and, alas, Tyler too, to the Presidency.

Ilarpees'lffagazine for December, commencing the 28th volume, opens with, a couple of illustrated poems—" Saint Christopher," by W. D. Howells, U. S. Consul at Venice ; and "Twilight on Sumpter, 4 by R. H. Stoddard. Both are good. B. J. Loosing followii with his "Scenes in the War of 1812," par ticularly devoted to the war on the coast, including the British landing at Havre.de•Grace, a place well known to all Northern travellers to Washington. Fifteen engravings add value to this sketch. " Pie rues of the Japanese," by A. H. Guernsey, may be said to contain the essence of Sir Rutherford Al. cock's new book upon Japan, (it is called "The Capital of the Tycoon,") and is made additionally satisfactory by thirty.two illustrations, several of them copies of Japanese drawings. Among the mit cellaneous papers that follow, we particularly may mention The Telling Treasure," hy Thomas Dunn English, the idea of which is taken from the torn manuscript shown by the Abbe Faris to Edmund Dantes in the dungeons of Chateau d' If, revealing the treasures on the Isle of Monte Christi; addl. timid chapters of "Cap-and•Bellir," a novel,; by J. M. Legere; Personal Recollections of Pres cott, the Historian, by James Wynne; "An Experiment," by Caroline Chesebro; A Nat. rative (only too briefly told, by Mrs. R. B. Minturn,) of a journey "Overland from St. Paul to Lake Superior';" a chapter on Names, by Louisa E. Furniss, and, albeit a little prosy and metaphysical, an Essay on "The Ethics of Love," . by Samuel Osgood, which young people, in partied. lar, may read with a certainty of, being instructed. There is a feeble sketch here, by Chas. D. Gardette, entitled "My Friend Crackthorpe Again," in which the solitary idea, of a madman's decoying a sane person to a lunatic asylum and there leaving him, has been used, and used up, a score of times, anal generally better than now. The small-type portions of Maga continue good. There are nearly sixty en gravings of Merit in this new number of Harper. The Atlantic Monthly for December completes_ the twelfth volume. Its first article, a prose sketch by Frederick Ingham, U. S. N., is called "A Man Without a Country," and relates, in a manner touching from its very simplicity, the misadventures of one Philip Nolan, once an army officer, who died, at sea, last May, after being there for nearly fifty years—his mishaps commenced as far back as 1605 - , by his meeting Aaron Burr, who involved him in conspiracy and treason. How he got to sea, and why he staid there, is the mystery of this well-told and truth-like tale. "The Birds of Killinworth," is a poem of nearly 250 lines, in the Whietleoraft stanza, by Longfellow,—a veritable idyl breathing of the country, and reading country-folks the plain les son that their crops may suffer from the inroads of destructive insects, if the birds who devour them are slaughtered. ",Literary Life in Paris," gives an account of a young French poet whose lite watts struggle between Poverty and Ambition. "The Great Air Engine," is a story we have failed to com prehend, after two attempts at perusal. W. J. Still man has a personal sketch of Eugene Delacroix, the great French painter, who lately died, and Henry J. Tuckerman, who sometimes writes poetry in prose, contributes a delightful, thoughtful, and sug gestive paper, entitled " Something about Bridges a paper the fruit of travel, observation, memory,- and judgment. Professor Agassia explains the "In ternal Structure and Progression of the Glacier,"— an article suggested by Professor Tyndall's recent, book on Glaciers, Agassiz himself having previously published the " Systeme Glaciate." A notice of Longfellow, the poet, by George W. Curtis, Is wholly unworthy - the writer and hia subjeft,—a very ordinary critic could have produced it, with a mini mum of thought. These are the more noticeable pa pers in this new number of the Atlantic ilionlady, which we have received from T. B. Pugh. The January number is announced to contain prose articles by Mrs. Stowe, Miss Prescott, Bayard_ Trio; Agassiz, Robert Dale Owen, and a Christ Dias Story by the author of " Life in the Iron Mills ;" aleo, poems by Bryant, Longfellow, and Whittier. Mrs. Stowe's series of-Sketches, to be continued for several months, will be called, "House and Home Papers," by Christopher Crowfleld. In the course of 1664, this periodicaAvill publish some cantos of Longfellow's translation of Dante'S "Divine Corn media ;" poems by Robert Browning, a new neve! by J. T. Trowbridge, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's new romance. It is lumored that a new Monthly Magazine will immediately appear in New York, under the editor. ship of Professor Henry Coppde, of the University of Pennsylvania. The steel-engraving of the December number of Peterson's Ladies' Magazine is a gem in its way. It s entitled "The Interupted Reading," and shows a young mother who, with a sudden impulse, stops in the perusal of a book, to anateh.up her darling little child and press it to her bosom with fond caresses. The title-page, a moonlight scene in the centre, with six charming vignettes illustrating the Winter Sea ton, is very well designed and finely engraved. The literature is of the usual acceptable character, and four original copyrighted novelettes are prombied fa_ 1864. The American Law Register, November, 1863, publiehee an unusually gomtprize , essay on "Mental 133min:slum as .A.trectlng Testamentary Capacity." We have the October number of The American Exchange and Review, also published in Philadelphia, which is generally well conducted and well sup ported by the public. A very little care would' make it better able than it now Is, to compete with. Hum's Merchants , Magazine. Theatrical criticism. and notices of "the situation" and prospects of the war, do not precisely harmonize; and among the large-type articles, two such able dissertations as. thone on the " Obligations of Paying Ouatoms' Du. ties in Gold," and "The Pacific Railroad," stand in. curious contrast with a long paper on "'Voltaire and, hi s Times." commercial readera expect something_ different. With the new year 1 Mich changes may ba made as will convert the American Exchange into a. thorough business periodical. Zieber sends us the American reprint of the new number of the Mukluk Review, It con- tains ten articles, of which the first, upon the Bri tish-American colony of Queensland, is the best. If all its statements be true, this new colony pre. mites to become of unusually great value to the motherland. Other papers are on the following subjects : Medireval Rome, Cadastral Survey of , Great Britain, Life of Lord Bolingbroke, •Jurispru dence, the Royal Academy, Cinchona cultivation in. India, Reign of George 111., a hlshratta romance, and the Colonial Episcopate. In the last, oddly enough, Bishop Colenso's case is carefully not men zioned. The Art Journal, for November, with its beautiful engravings on steel and wood, and its original and. valuable papers on Art, is also to be procured from. Mr. Zieber. There is no other art-periodical at all approaching this in merit, beauty, and low price. LTBE NATIONAL LOAN.—The subscription agent reports the sale of $.1,019,.350 five twenties, on Saturday, and for the week $5,317,01. A large pro portion of these sales were made in - the West and the Border States, Maryland, Kentucky, and Mir. sours. Kansas also contributed largely. There are no better indications of the popularity of the. loan than the continuation of these large sales. READING COLUMBIA RAILROAD.—The Read Ing Times says in regard to this road : The .eomple. lion of this road Is rapidly approaching. The deep cut on the South Mountain is nearly completed and strong forces of workmen are employed on the eastern - seotion, as well as on this seotion of the road, putting down the rails.
